A Special Sunday

Today we went to church in Moscow. We happened to find a branch of the church we belong to (actually, there are six branches in Moscow). We attended the closest one, and had to walk 15 minutes to the Metro, and transfer twice. Then once we got off the Metro, it was still another 15 minute walk (although we walked for over an hour, because we could not find the building!! HA!) It was important to me to attend church in Russia, because I wanted Kylen to hear the gospel in his own native language, and to attend Primary, our children’s church. We had a wonderful time. Again, I was told that I LOOK Russian!! I think that is so funny! I took it as a complement, as there are some very beautiful Russian women out there. My image of the Russian woman has completely changed. Later that afternoon, the missionaries came over to our apartment and taught the first discussion to Kylen in Russian. It was so cool. They had these little illustrated pictures that were laminated and cut out in shapes of objects in the lesson (like our Heavenly Father, and Jesus, and the world, and clouds for heaven, etc). The Elders were so good with him and spoke perfect Russian!! It was great for Kylen to be able to ask questions and understand now what he will hear in English when we get home (only he doesn’t understand English now…..so that is why this was so cool!!). It was a really enjoyable experience. I am so glad we took the effort to go!!
